~ Another Day, Another Opportunity ~

In your standard Japanese junior high classroom, sat a very depressed guy with freckles and hair in the shape of a bush, although it was black with natural green tips. This skinny guy was looking out the window as his class was near its end, but he was staring at the sky lost in thought. So far lost that the bell rang and he didn't even notice it or his peers leaving the room, but once he did about 5 minutes later, he rushed to put his stuff away into his oversized yellow backpack.

'I'm going to miss the train!' He mentally screamed to himself as his lip quivered before he ran out of the room to the mostly empty hallway as the weekend arrived tomorrow. Either way, our protagonist kept running towards his family's apartment complex but on his way, he passed by a hero fight.

Sorry almost forget in the narration; This world is full of people who were born with quirks or superpowers derived from their genetics. But as this phenomenon became widespread, multiple people started to use their quirks for their own gain whether it be money or the pure rush from creating chaos. So, several brave souls rose up to fight against them, these people are known as heroes yet they aren't too different from the villains they fight. Since they only work to fulfill their greed for fame and money, very few have worked to save and help the innocent, besides the first of these so-called heroes.

 One of these selfless and true heroes are All-Might, whose quirk and identity remained unknown throughout his career, only saying that he graduated UA academy. And if you must know, UA academy is a high school designed to help create these heroes society needs, but it is only one of many schools. Yet due to their different teachers and courses, they've cultivated some of the most famous heroes known to humankind.

Anyway, back to the story; Our protagonist ran back to the hero fight to fill his nerdy nature with the excitement of watching the clash between heroes and villains. In the scene, stood a villain with a hostage who had a fireball next to his head while there were three heroes on the scene. The first being the punching hero, Death Arms, a hero with devastating strength but his quirk has only been seen to increase the strength in his arms after bumping his fists together. Next was the lock hero, Rock lock, who was capable of immobilizing any non-living thing into one place. And the last hero was Kamui Woods who could control the wood on his body, which was set like an armor on his body.

The only problem was, was that none of the heroes were moving in on the hostage situation, leaving everyone nearby nervous for the poor girl being held as the hostage. But the freckled student couldn't neglect the mysterious feeling boiling inside him as his legs moved subconsciously towards the villain who shot the fireball in his hand towards the poor boy. Although the fireball hit our protagonist on his left arm, burning away the sleeve, yet that didn't stop him as he threw his oversized backpack at the villain's face which luckily released his grip on his hostage.

While he was distracted, a scraggly and skeleton-like blonde man in the crowd sighed before taking a deep breath. A few seconds later and the man buffed up into All-Might before he used his pure speed and strength to make an uppercut which held so much force that it blew out the stray flames in the area and make it rain for a moment. Which left the crowd stunned at the legendary and number one hero, but Izuku helped the girl held hostage up and towards a paramedic crew who laid her on a stretcher.

"Thanks, I hope I'll see you again." The girl said as his cheeks flushed pink before he analyzed the girl's looks. She was a fairly built girl with orange hair styled into a high ponytail on the side of her head while she wore a middle school uniform foreign to our protagonist.

"Y-yeah, see y-you a-around." He replied nervously as he caught a glimpse of the girl smiling before she was brought into the ambulance. But as the ambulance drove away, the nervous boy was suddenly surrounded by heroes who all looked agitated.

"Kid, what you did was extremely dangerous." Said Death Arms as he had his arms crossed. "Stay out of trouble and let the heroes take care of it." He said before some civilians surrounded the small group.

"What do you mean? He saved that girl's life while you three didn't do anything about it." A woman said as she looked ready to slap the three men standing before her.

"Yeah! He's the hero! You're no better than us!" A cocky teenager said as the main character started to back away and leave while the argument continued.

Eventually, the bush-for-hair boy got away from the scene and started to walk the rest of the way home, soothing his burnt arm along the way. Although, as the sun was setting, a small gust of wind blew out of nowhere as the boy looked for the source, which was his idol, All-Might. "A-All-Might, w-what are you d-doing here?" He stuttered as All-Might was engulfed in a puff of smoke.

Note: I know All-Might gets the injury later, but for plot reasons, it'll happen sooner.

Once the smoke was gone, a skeleton of a man was standing in that spot as he coughed up blood. "Sorry, kid... your hero's a skeleton." He joked as the kid in front of him was on his knees and muttering a lot. "Hey, kid, what's your name!?" He shouted as he broke the kid's muttering and caught his attention.

"I-I'm Izuku Midoriya." He replied as he wiped his face, careful of anything to make him look bad in front of his idol. "B-but w-what do you n-need, All-Might?" He asked as nervous as ever before the man walked up to him and put his hand on his head, making Izuku look up into the man's neon blue eyes.

"Young Midoriya, you legs moved on their own didn't they?" He asked as Izuku shed a tear at the reminder of the small battle from before.

"Y-yeah, I-I couldn't just stand there. That g-girl could've gotten h-hurt." He said as a few more tears were shed from the nervous wreck.

"One thing in common with great heroes is that their legs always moved on their own. Young Midoriya, would you like to become a hero and my pupil?" He asked as Izuku broke into more tears and clung to wear his heart was before saying anything.

"Y-yes, more than anything." He answered as All-Might and Izuku stood there with the sunset behind them, creating a great sign between the new master and student.

"An instant answer!*Chuckles* Just what I expected!" He joked as he chuckled, causing him to cough up more blood. "Meet me at Dagobah Municipal Beach tomorrow, 6 in the morning and be ready to prove yourself." He said before the two left after another, like one generation going towards the light while the next generation continued to walk the path of life in their stead.

The next day, Izuku woke up in excitement as he quickly showered, ate, and dressed in workout gear, so he wore a pair of black shorts and a sleeveless gray hoodie. "I'll see you later mom!" He shouted as he started to run towards the beach, but by the time he got there, he was already sweaty and panting with his hands on his knees.

Although, once he looked up, he could see mountains of trash everywhere as the skeleton All-Might was standing at the railing between the sidewalk and the beach before he turned back to see his new pupil. "Welcome, Young Midoriya." He said calmly as Izuku just gave him every confused look in response. "Before I give you the chance to succeed me, I want you to clean this beach." He said before walking down to the beach in his buff form and punching a mountain of trash away and into the ocean, revealing a beautiful sunrise and glistening ocean. "And this power could be yours."

Izuku was only stunned at the magnificent display but soon came to realize something very important. "All-Might, y-you just t-threw a pile of t-trash into the o-ocean... " He said as All-Might had a bead of sweat drop down his face.

"Just forget it."

~ Brought to you by All-Might flirting while Izuku trains ~

Over the course of about 12 months, Izuku completely cleared the beach of trash piles fitted in with exercises like swimming laps and running around town. But it brought great results, as Izuku was now stronger than ever with a toned body and a six-pack on the verge of becoming an eight-pack. Along with that, he could compete with Usain Bolt and might give him a run for his money and even wrestle a few pros if need be, but instead of having bulging muscles like All-Might, his muscles stunted his growth and became denser which greatly helped his speed.

And today, Izuku took care of the last pile of trash before his sensei arrived to pick it up, while he was now on top of the pile topless as he looked at the sunrise and the glistening ocean once again. Then he wiped off the sweat on his forehead as All-Might's truck pulled up to the beach, but once he got out, he could only gape at the stunning progress between Izuku and the cleaning of the beach.

"Oh my... Oh my... Goodness!" All-Might said as he turned into his buff form to shout the last part, making his presence known to the young hero-in-training.

So, Izuku jumped down to the ground next to his sensei, almost making the man fall to the ground as he was in his skeleton form. "Thank you, Sensei. I wanted to make you proud to make me your successor." Responded Izuku as his stuttering habit has more or less gone away except around strangers, mostly females.

"Then, it's time I tell you my secret." Said All-Might as the master and student looked at each other, Izuku being the taller of the two at the moment. "Young Midoriya, my quirk is called One For All. A power passed down between each generation as it grows stronger than ever imaginable, but the user is destined to fight All For One. All For One is someone who takes other people's quirks away, but I believe you'll be able to defeat him once and for all."

After a moment of silence as Izuku shed a tear, he finally responded. "I'd be honored, Sensei. I'll make you proud of what you've created."

"Then... eat this." He said back sternly as he held one of his hairs in front of Izuku, who was more shocked than when he met All-might. But All-Might stood there stoically, "I'm completely serious, you know."

Hesitantly, Izuku grabbed the piece of hair and slowly brought it towards his mouth, forcing his mouth open, he quickly swallowed the hair. But the instant he did, he fell to his knees and hands as he held his right hand over his abdomen, feeling like he was swallowing poison that slowly spread throughout his body. The pain stopped though once it was throughout his body, before feeling like a huge surge of electricity that slowly grew stronger was inside of him. Which quickly changed into a feeling of burning from the inside out until Izuku sweat even more and suddenly the pain stopped.

'I didn't expect that to happen... ' All-Might thought as his student slowly rose before he walked to the beach slowly but steadily. 'What will you do now, Young Midoriya?'

Without a doubt in his mind, Izuku felt the energy of One For All pulsating in his body as he focused it into his right arm. But as he saw his veins glow violently, he stopped the flow and looked at his arms without saying a thing. Then he started to breathe deeply in a rhythm matching the slow pulse of his heart and One For All, but slowly Izuku's veins glowed again and stopped while green electricity acted as a shroud around his body.

Yet he stopped before testing out any of his power and instead looked at his sensei who stood there shocked. "I'm guessing it should have taken longer... But I think I have an idea of how to handle it." He said as his sensei shook his head furiously to get rid of his shocked expression. "One For All, it's like my heart. It pulsates in a rhythm but becomes quicker in pace as I use it. Yet it feels like it's a part of me that I was born with, only realizing that my body was prepared for it like it was my destiny."

"*Chuckles* A little poet, no wonder you can barely talk normally." Commented All-Might as both of them started to chuckle. 

~ Yatta! New Story! ~

A/N: So my writing is changing ever so slightly, from straight to the point stuff to poetic and descriptive stuff (I think?). But I hope you enjoyed the changes since Izuku changed for three more months and could control his power right off the bat.

What are your thoughts?

Who should be the love interest?
Must be a canon character, preferably at UA.
